`But no, she`s abstract, is a bird
Of sound in the air of air soaring,
And her soul sings unencumbered
Because the song`s what makes her sing.`

Dramatic, lyrical and ranging over four distinct personae, these poems by one of Portugal`s greatest poets trace a mind shaken by intense suffering and a tireless search for meaning.
